About this map

West Point Lake dominates the central portion of this landscape, its expansive waters submerging the historical riverbed where landmarks like the Old Philpot Ferry once operated. The map documents a blend of established settlements and newer lakeside developments, ranging from Owensbyville and Buena Vista in the west to North Lakeside and Point North in the east.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, including Old Shiloh Cemetery, New Harmony Cemetery, and Old Harmony Cemetery. The presence of features such as Graysons Landing and Moody Bridge provides insight into the local transportation and recreational network that emerged around the reservoir. Further north, the settlement at Five Points marks a junction near several family cemeteries, illustrating the long-standing community footprint that predates the flooding of the basin.
